I think a lot of times it’s like what was stated earlier on this thread or the other one. Sometimes what we think we see and actual reality are two different things. May have nothing to do with admitting to anything. It all happens so fast.

In regards to some not “owning” a poor shot I believe its mental for the most part and what they believe in there head. I have been guilty but I think the difference is with an arrow there are multiple variables. Distance, angle, reaction of the animal. You see the knock and believe that’s the entry point when reality is it could be totally different related to angle and not creating near the damage of a bullet and probably much more unlikely to be found. Which leads to needing an explanation.. easy one is the broad head when reality is the majority were just a poorly placed shot. I agree with you but I think there are just way more variables with a bow.

I really did see a broadhead fail.
It was a slick trick that a fellow shot through both lungs of a fallow deer on my place a few years ago.
I watched the deer go 100 yards and lay down.
30 minutes later it was still picking its head up and the hunter tried to slip in and get another arrow in it.
It jumped up and ran like it had never been shot. 4 hours later I was able to kill it with a rifle.
When we cleaned it the arrow had passed through both lungs.
It was a mind boggling thing.
I posted this not to bash slick tricks but as an example that sometimes things just happen.

I'm a firearms instructor and know full-well the deal when officers bring me an "off" gun. Probably 5% of the time it's the gun and 95% the shooter's error.
This whole thread is just for smiles..... No better place to hang out on the net than the GS...even with bad broadheads...

October the 22nd I shot the biggest buck I’ve ever laid eyes on. I actually shot him twice. The 1st shot was a heart shot at 27yrds, but he was after a doe. He came right back at me, at 10yrds I shot him again. At the time I would have put money, a lot of money that it was a lethal shot. What to me looked like a shot right behind the shoulder, a double lung shot, turned out to be a shot straight through the hind quarter!!
Just for the record he was shot with Rage Hypo
I’m not a fan of any broadhead either. I shoot what I got. Or what’s on clearance.Last edited by Black-N-Red; 10-30-2018, 07:43 PM.
